Chapter 30 - about elizabeth.

I awoke to sunlight streaming in through the window and hitting my eyes. After all, I had only just awoken. I regained consciousness after a few seconds and discovered a redhead beauty sleeping in my arms. Margaret, who had her eyes closed, had her arms around me and her face buried in my chest.

I had a fantastic night with her the night before. Her attitude yesterday surprised me when she said she wasn't having sex with me because of the treatment. But in the end, I told her to absorb life energy. After all, we had sex five times yesterday and I deposited a huge amount of vital energy inside her.

[Affection: 95]

Using the [master's eyes], I noticed Margaret's affection for me. Surprisingly, the number was high, almost equal to Marcelina and Angelica. How did I get to this point with Margaret? This goes far beyond empress and vassal.

"Hmm."

Margaret awoke slowly. When she opened her eyes and saw me, she smiled at the corner of her lips. Margaret's face flushed when she noticed how we were holding each other, and for a brief moment she tried to pull away from my arms. I grabbed her body before she could move.

I reached down Margaret's back and gripped her ass. Margaret's ass, like the rest of her body, is extremely soft. Margaret's body smelled like sweat mixed with the odor of the sex we'd had the day before. This odor has also permeated my body.

"What exactly are you doing?" Margaret inquired softly.

"Your ass..."

"You..."

I placed my lips on Margaret's and began to give her light kisses before she could say anything. Margaret never tried to flee; instead, she pouted with her mouth. I looked into her eyes after the last kiss.

"We have to get up."

"Why?"

"In a little while Elizabeth should come in the room and I don't want her to see us like this. After all, she likes you too."

"So you like me?... Wait, Elizabeth likes me?"

"I've lived with Elizabeth for a long time and I know her very well. I spent a lot of time immersed in work and she spent a lot of time alone in the palace. When you arrived, I believe that her loneliness was replaced by your presence."

"But I did not do anything."

"You may think you didn't do anything, but you lived with her more than with me and she must have noticed your strengths and weaknesses. Just like you did with me, and little by little Elizabeth began to feel attracted to you. Just notice that the Her attitude towards you is different from other people's."

"Elizabeth is generally cold to other people in the imperial palace, now that you mention it... I don't think she's ever smiled at anyone except you and..."

"Yes, both of us. The only people Elizabeth smiles at. However, I believe that even she is unaware of her own emotions. Elizabeth has no experience with men; I am the only person she has ever interacted with."

"How about you?"

"I fell in love with you, Luke, just as Elizabeth did. I've never fallen in love with anyone before, but yesterday I realized how easily people fall in love."

Margaret jumped out of my arms and pushed me to the bed, climbing on top of me. She gently smiled as she held both of my arms.

"I've never received words like yours yesterday, not from my parents or my ex-husband. Every time you said something interesting about me or complimented me, my heart beat so fast it felt like it was going to burst through my chest."

"..."

"I finally realized why people fall in love with insignificant things. They are smitten by a look, a smile, an act, or even a line."

"Margaret..."

"I fell in love with you, Luke... However, I want Elizabeth to be happy."

"How about your happiness?"

"It will be enough if you stand by her side and make her smile."

This time it was my turn to move and make Margaret lie back down on the bed. As she did to me, I did to her, and I will follow her two hands.

"Why can't I make you and her happy?"

"But..."

"I'll be honest with you. I'm already in relationships with two other women. Marceline, my maid, and Angelica, one of the heroines."

"What?"

"You are the empress, and you have forgotten the laws of the empire. Polygamy is legal, so I can marry you, Marceline, and Angelica and give my all to make everyone happy."

"..."

"As for Elizabeth, we can't say she likes me based on assumptions."

"But what if she enjoys it?"

"I'll do everything I can to make you all happy."

I leaned down and kissed Margaret on the lips. Margaret returned the kiss when our lips met. Because of Margaret's elevated little guy for me, I was able to persuade her using my relationship with Marceline and Angelica. In addition to reminding her that polygamy is legal in the empire. We have a number of nobles who have more than one husband or wife.

"You should know I'm a lot older than you." Margaret explained.

"I'm unconcerned."

After all, my soul is much older than hers. I wonder how she would react if she knew this was my third life.

"Luke."

"Hey?"

"Do you want to become emperor?"

"Is this a marriage proposal?"

"Yes."

"I will do my best to run the empire by your side."

"Haha ha."

Margaret and I went into the bathroom to shower together after talking for a few minutes longer. We exited the room after taking a shower. Margaret told me she was going to see Elizabeth and gave me the day off; after all, I'm still her vassal for the time being.

I had the entire day off. So I decided to train. I used my bond to send Skrill a telepathy message and then went to the training arena. The same arena where I severed Scar's hand during our fight. King Mufasa said we could use the palace facilities while we were here.

Skrill suddenly jumped on my shoulder as we walked. I stroked his fur and thought of Elizabeth. I've been training with Elizabeth for six months and I find her very attractive. Elizabeth, as Margaret mentioned, smiles infrequently, but when she does, it's beautiful.

Elizabeth has a pleasant personality despite her outward appearance. I remember going to the merchants' quarter in the imperial capital. Elizabeth beat me up at practice and I got all bruised up. We obviously went to the infirmary, which was without healers that day. They were given a mission.

We went to the merchants' quarter that day, and Elizabeth stopped at an orphanage on the way. She contributes to the orphanage by donating a portion of the vassal's salary and playing with the children in her spare time. I had no idea she had such a gentle side; after all, she is always cold to most people.

She is also very truthful and fair. I can't imagine her doing something cowardly with someone or trying to win a fight by cheating. At the end, she is a wonderful woman. I still didn't think she liked me, but as Margaret said, don't try. After all, I wouldn't want to see her upset about my relationship with Margaret.

Margaret and she have been friends for a long time. I can't imagine how Elizabeth would feel if Margaret and I got involved and then let her go. After all, she likes Margaret as a friend, and she probably likes me. I believe Elizabeth would hide her emotions and wish for our happiness while suffering on the inside. I don't want that.

Since when have I become so sentimental? I never had feelings for a woman when I was Joseph, the demon of lust. I simply fucked and left. But in this world, the more I learn about these women, the more I want to please them. I want to make Margaret, Angelica, Marceline, and now Elizabeth happy by my side.

I no longer live solely for vengeance. I have other reasons to remain in this world.

"LUKE."

In front of me was Carina.

"Hey?"

"Finally you answered me. I've been calling you for a while."

"Sorry, I was deep in thought."

There's Carina, Serina and Mary too. Hell, who knew my revenge would result in such a big harem. I only planned to steal Arthur's heroines and make him suffer in revenge.

"What do you intend to do now?"

"I was going to train."

"Can I train with you?"

"Yes. What about your brother?"

"After the fight he was treated properly. After that loss he decided to go for special training."

"I got it."

"Don't worry about him. Let's go train now."

I accompanied Carina to the palace's training arena. Now that I think about it, didn't this girl say she was going to attack me during the trip? I need to keep an eye out for her. When we arrived at the training area, Carina asked me for advice on how to get stronger. I stated the basics: increase your magical power.

Obviously, she was displeased. I couldn't help Carinha because she fights with a spear. But I suggested that she try to cut it with her magical power. I took my sword from the storage ring and moved it diagonally. A magical beam slashed a training dummy in half.

It's a simple but very useful idea. For example, consider the fight against Mary at the start of the school year. Carina would not have been suppressed by Mary if she had a long-range strike like that. I explained that she must channel the magical power through the spear until it reaches the point. When she moves her spear up and down, simply fire that magical power in the direction of movement.

In speech it is very easy, but one must have very good magical control. I think this is the first step for her to evolve. Then I'll give her some advice. Well, instead of using the word sword, I'm going to use spear. I'm going to pass on some of my ideas, how to be one with the sword and such.

I let Carina try the swing and sat cross-legged in the shade. Skrill, who was perched on my shoulder, leapt onto my back and placed his paw on me. He began to infuse his magical power into me. My power will grow much faster this way than the traditional method of meditation.

I fell into another trance.
